Revelation 11

1ThenG2532 IG1473 was givenG1325 a measuring rodG2563 likeG3664 a staffG4464 and was toldG3004, “GoG1453 andG2532 measureG3354 theG3588 templeG3485 of GodG2316 andG2532 theG3588 altarG2379, andG2532 count the number ofG3588 worshipersG4352 there. 2But excludeG1544G1855 theG3588 courtyardG833 outsideG1855 theG3588 templeG3485. Do notG3361 measureG3354 itG846, becauseG3754 it has been givenG1325 over to theG3588 nationsG1484, andG2532 they will trampleG3961 theG3588 holyG40 cityG4172 for 42G5062G2532G1417 monthsG3376. 3AndG2532 I will empowerG1325G3588 myG1473 twoG1417 witnessesG3144, andG2532 they will prophesyG4395 for 1,260G5507G1250G1835 daysG2250, clothed inG4016 sackclothG4526.”

4TheseG3778 witnesses areG1510 theG3588 twoG1417 olive treesG1636 andG2532 theG3588 twoG1417 lampstandsG3087 that standG2476 beforeG1799 theG3588 LordG2962 of theG3588 earthG1093.1 5IfG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to harmG91 themG846, fireG4442 proceedsG1607 fromG1537 theirG846 mouthsG4750 andG2532 devoursG2719 theirG846 enemiesG2190. In this wayG3779, anyone whoG5100 wantsG2309 to harmG91 themG846 mustG1163 be killedG615. 6TheseG3778 witnesses haveG2192 powerG1849 to shutG2808 theG3588 skyG3772 so thatG2443 noG3361 rainG5205 will fallG1026 during theG3588 daysG2250 ofG3588 theirG846 prophecyG4394, andG2532 powerG1849 to turnG4762 theG3588 watersG5204 intoG1519 bloodG129 andG2532 to strikeG3960 theG3588 earthG1093 withG1722 every kind ofG3956 plagueG4127 as often asG3740 they wishG1437G2309.

The Witnesses Killed and Raised

WhenG3752 the two witnesses have finishedG5055 theirG846 testimonyG3141, theG3588 beastG2342 thatG3588 comes upG305 fromG1537 theG3588 AbyssG12 will wageG4160 warG4171 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 will overpowerG3528 andG2532 killG615 themG846. 8TheirG846 bodiesG4430 will lie inG1909 theG3588 streetG4113 ofG3588 theG3588 greatG3173 cityG4172—figurativelyG4153 calledG2564 SodomG4670 andG2532 EgyptG125—whereG3699 theirG846 LordG2962 was also crucifiedG2532G4717. 9For threeG5140 andG2532 a halfG2255 daysG2250 allG1537 peoplesG2992 andG2532 tribesG5443 andG2532 tonguesG1100 andG2532 nationsG1484 will viewG991 theirG846 bodiesG4430 andG2532 will not permitG3756G863 them to be laidG5087 inG1519 a tombG3418. 10AndG2532 those whoG3588 dwellG2730 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 will gloatG5463 overG1909 themG846 andG2532 celebrateG2165 andG2532 sendG3992 one anotherG240 giftsG1435, becauseG3754 theseG3778 twoG1417 prophetsG4396 had tormentedG928 them.

11But afterG3326 theG3588 threeG5140 andG2532 a halfG2255 daysG2250, the breathG4151 of lifeG2222 fromG1537 GodG2316 enteredG1525G1722 the two witnesses, andG2532 they stoodG2476 onG1909 theirG846 feetG4228, andG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 fellG1968 uponG1909 those whoG3588 sawG2334 themG846. 12AndG2532 the witnesses heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772 sayingG3004, “Come upG305 hereG5602.” AndG2532 they went upG305 toG1519 heavenG3772 inG1722 aG3588 cloudG3507 as theirG846 enemiesG2190 watchedG2334 themG846.

13AndG2532 inG1722 thatG1565 hourG5610 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, andG2532 aG3588 tenthG1182 of theG3588 cityG4172 collapsedG4098. SevenG2033 thousandG5505 were killedG3686G444G615 inG1722 theG3588 quakeG4578, andG2532 theG3588 restG3062 wereG1096 terrifiedG1719 andG2532 gaveG1325 gloryG1391 to theG3588 GodG2316 ofG3588 heavenG3772.

14TheG3588 secondG1208 woeG3759 has passedG565. BeholdG2400, theG3588 thirdG5154 woeG3759 is comingG2064 shortlyG5035.

The Seventh Trumpet

15ThenG2532 theG3588 seventhG1442 angelG32 sounded his trumpetG4537, andG2532 loudG3173 voicesG5456 called outG3004 inG1722 heavenG3772:

16AndG2532 theG3588 twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245 whoG3588 sitG2521 onG1909 theirG846 thronesG2362 beforeG1799 GodG2316 fellG4098 onG1909 theirG846 facesG4383 andG2532 worshipedG4352 GodG2316, 17sayingG3004:

19ThenG2532 theG3588 templeG3485 of GodG2316 inG1722 heavenG3772 was openedG455, andG2532 theG3588 arkG2787 ofG3588 HisG846 covenantG1242 appearedG3708 inG1722 HisG846 templeG3485. AndG2532 there wereG1096 flashes of lightningG796, rumblingsG5456, peals of thunderG1027, an earthquakeG4578, andG2532 a greatG3173 hailstormG5464.
